ItODIANCK OF INDIAN LIP/ 3.-A private
soldier, writing from from Fort Laramie,
March 12th, mentions the following in

Grattan
I will give you two tints connected with
the massacre, which I never seen in the
newspapers. A musician, one of the
Arty, owned or married R. squaw, and on
that unfortunate (lay, when she saw dan
ger threatening the troops, she rallied her
father and-brother to prestd-ve her lover.
When he fell wounded, she rushed to him
to protect him from the arrows or perish

he could do no more. The hostile In&
are then 'rushed on the wounded soldier,
tore him friii the embrace of his faithful
squaw, and scalped him before her eyes.
After pis she could not be prevailed upon
to eat Air drink, and starved to death, dying
in nine'days, and glad to go to regain the
preseke of the spirit of one she loved so
dearly. The only soldier that reached here
alive Wan mound by an Indian, who, instead
Of scalping him, ministered to his wants,

HONK-MADE GUANO.-S. B. Halliday.,
,of Providence, Rhode Island; has a pro
cote by which lie can covert the fish that
swarm our coasts every season into an
article like Guano, at lese than half the
cost of the Peruvian article, and Professor
Hare' . of Philadelphia, thinks it equally
as Valuable. Mr. Halliday says ;
,
"I am able to say very copfitlently that
this.. product, can afforded at $25 :per

50 per cent. The oil . (kccording to Drs.
Jackson 'anti Dare) being almost valueless
for fertilizing purposes, ; it,. is , first ,taken

into guano. The first cost of the' fish is
about *2 per ton, and containing nearly 3
per cent, of oil ; the nil will pay for the
fish and nearly : for the labor in manufac

. morning last,
fnr Liberia, 4.hlther they go
. to resume
their missionary labors which failing
health compelled the% to abanddn for
a little time. They mill sail from isiew-
York between the 10th and 15th.—
On Sunday evening last, religious exerci
les having , reference to their departure,
took place in the Presbyterian church,
which were of a deeply interesting and af
fecting character. Tho addresses: deliv
ered by Rev. Mr. Wilson, Dr. Baugher
and Rev. Mr. Johnston, were very appro
priate, and calculated to induce, in some
measure, a proper appreciation on the part
l our people, of the services and self.sac
rtficing spirit of the esteemed missionaries
who have thus voluntarily and cheerfully
abandoned the comforts and pleasures of
home and friends to resume their labori
ous duties in a foreign land. The sympa
thies and well-wishes of our community
will follow them, and we aro sure a lively
interest will over be felt in the sUCCetI3 of
their labors.
lterWe learn from the Chambersburg
papers that 3lr. Gron r oE W. MCLELLAN,
of the Franklin !louse, in this place, has

liltir - The new Presbyterian church, at
Pittsburg, undercharge of Rev. Wm. M.
PAxrin, formerly of this place, was dedi•
eated on Sunday last, with very ~linpres.
sive services. The address by the Paster
is spoken -of by the Pittsburg papers as a
very eloquent and able production. The
building cost about 575,000, and is said
to be unsurpassed in that city fur elegance
and beauty. Ou Monday there was a par.
tiul sale of pews at public, auction, from
which 9.12,1.07 were realized. Fifty-fire
pews were sold, when the sale was .post

United States Senator contest, have made
report, that, the evidence does not

charges against him, but the committee
have not been able to get at any 'positive
evidence of corruption.
TUE CROPS.—The Wheat crop in
Virginia, it is stated, looks thrifty and
promises well. The weather in Cherokee,
Georgia,-is very favorable to the growing
crops. The wheat promises a largo yield.
In Tennessee and Kentucky the prospect
for abundant crops of wheat is represent
ed as very flattering. The accounts from
Ohio, New .York and Michigan aro also
very encouraging.
PENNSYLVANIA STATE FAIR.—
The executive committee of the Pennsyl
vania Agricultural Society have &elected
llarrisburg•for the next State fair. provi
ded the citizens thereof furnish *ground
free of charge, and contribute to the Soci
ety, within three days, the sum of 81,500.
A meeting was called at 'Louisburg to
raise the sum.
i:rA sad accident occurred to the
only daughter of Win. iditzel, Esq., of
Shrewsbury, York county, a few days ago,

Isl 4 cascoithe most revolting kind wag
brought before the Grand Jury of Bourbon
county, Kg., exhibiting most inhuman and
barbarous conduct on the part of a wealthy
and Ei.eallia respectable family, in eternal
treatment of Mayes. If there be any thing
on record in the dark story of the wrongs
and cruelties which have been heaped tip.
on the poor nnfortuate slave which affords
a parallel to this one, we have yet to see it,
'matted, grant r e -never may. The par
tici pre emited were Alpheus Lewis, and his
wife Marpret. who is said to have inherit
ed the, largest estate in the county. One
of her slaveS. named Sarah, a grown wo
man, and the mother of children, was
stripped entirely naked by the directions
of Mrs. Lewis. and her heels tied np to a
tree about four or five feet from theground.
The mistress then directed a negro man
to force a pump, and a negro woman to di
rect a stream-of, cold water from a hose a
gainst the helpless slave while the lady
pelted her-with stones till she was ti y&
and then burnt her-badly in , sevelplaces,
including the most sensitive parts of the
body, with hot irons. The sufferings of
the other slaves were of equal intensity,
and, as similar in their nature, are not so
minutely 'described by our correspondent.
The law. of Kentucky provides that slaves
cruelly maltreated shall bo, sold by order
of a court : ' The accusation against Lewis
and vile' being clearly established, the
slaves were sold ; but the law being de
fective even in the view of slave-ethics,
the victims were bought back by the op
pressor, and are now in parts unknowc.
It is said that the matter has been sup
pressed by. lhe local paps, and the reason
alledged isA cowardice on the part of the
editors I A Kentucky editor was waylaid
by the relatives of the notorious Mat.
Ward. because the latter was described by
him as "the great unhoug ;" 60 the jour
nalists of Bourbon county have-kept secret
the hideous facts of torture thus detailed
for fear that influential relatives might
maim or murder them !
This is not a soli:a ry case. Some twen- ,
ty years ago, says the New York Tribune,
a wcakhy and accomplished lady of New
Orleans had a regular torture-chamber, fit-;
ted up with a variety of deviii4l utensils
with which to wreak her malignity . ,upon
her slaves ; and when her house was for
ced, a hipless wretch was found in one of
these machineso metallic cap fitting the
head, witha screw in the centre, pressing
down upon the skull and brain of the vic

less ingenious and complicated, scent even
more inhuman and revolting. Even in

Cold•blooded murder, inquisitorial cruelty
—unscathed, unpunished—and safe even,
so far as the local press is concerned, front
the pimishmelit of notoriety and general
indignation !
PENSION DECISION.—The Com
missioner of Pensions has made a decision
that parole testimony will not be taken iu
proof of service iu applications for bounty
land. This decisiou corers a large class
of eases and is of great importance. It
will exclude even some who have received
less than a quarter section of land under
former laws, and now apply fur the re
mainder. The Commissioner has also ex
pressed an opinion that volunteers alleged
to have served on a hasty summons and
upon an emergency, but do not appear on
any musterroll, are not entitled to the
benefits of the new act. Of the first thir
ty applications examined it is stated that
all were rejected but one. The objections
to the other twenty-nine were mostly for
want of formality.
PRICE OF POTATOES.—It appears
that potatoes are coming down to a fair
price in alutost every direction. One dol.
lar a bushy is now tho price in quoin
neat. A largo lot on the way to that city
was stopped at Cleveland on account of
tho sudden decline in price.
A COSTLY DRESS.—The Empress of

of Aus crisis lace dress valued at about
540,000. the patern was designed / by
the French Empress herself. It will be

ICIDNAPPING 7 —On Saturdiy, a lit
tle girl. aged four years, whose father is
dead, was abducted from the residenekof
her gratid-mother in Philadelphia. The
abduction was made, it is alledged, by a
man emplojed by the mother. who had
separated from her husband previous to
his death. The man seized the child
while sitting on the front step of the house
occupied by the grand.mother. The child
screamed, and Mrs. Wolf rushed out the
house in pursuit: By this time the ab-
doctor had placed the child in a carriage,
in which the mother, Sarah Van Ortoo,
was waiting, and the vehicle was driven
off hurriedly. Tho alarm soon spread,
and a crowd followed the-carriage, and it
was traced to the house of the man who
acted ae principal in the affair. War
rants were issued by Alderman Enue for
all concerned in the abduction, and three,
including tho driver °tithe carriage, were
held in $5OO each 'for a further hear
ing.
USEFUL EMPLOYMENT.—The
Washington Uniciii is anxiously engaged
io ascertaining what has become of the
"old patriotic Whig party," that onco
boasted of a Clay, a Webster, &a. It
manifests great anxiety to save it from
contamination and destruction by the
Know Nothings I The Union from being
a persecutor has turned to be a political
philanthropist and supplicant. But can
that distressed organ of the Administra-
tion tell what has become of the great and
overwhelming Pierce party 1 A history
of its decline and death would be inter•
esting at this time, especialiy to the "old
patriotic Whigs,'' whose candidate for
Prelident the Union declared to be a
"gambler•. a Sabbath breaker, a duelist,
and a MURDERER."
THE PROGRESSIVE FRIENDS.—
The Pennsylvania Yearly Meeting of Pro.
gressive Friends is to convene near Ken
nett Square, Chester county, on Sunday,
May 20. The Rev. Theodore Parker, of
Boston, will be present and dedicate a new
meeting-house on the 10th. This society
prescribes no system of theological belief
as a test of membership, but invites the
cb-operatiou of all who regard mankind
as one brotherhood, and who acknowledge
the duty of showing their faith to God, not
by a creed, but by lives of personal purity
and a hearty devotionto the welfare of man
kind. It opposes slavery, war, intemper
ance, capital put:dm - pent, the denial of wo
man's equality, ignorance, superstition,
priestcraft, sectarianism, and oppression in
all its forms.

lirJ'The Prohibitory Liquor Law in
New York is driving all the taverns and
lager beer houses over to New Jersey city,
Hoboken and other places in the vicinity.
The New Jersey Legislature must have
had an eye to the profits of the liquor
trade when they refused to pass a prohibi
tot), law. New York on one side and
Philadelphia on the other will yield the
Jersey taverns a pretty good revenue.
THE LIQUOR. LAW.—In the State
Senate, last week, a supplement to the act

that they may have been granted for a
longer term.

PHILADEI.PiIIta ELECTION.--An
election for membera of City Connell, Tres
surer, and Surveyor, was held in Philadel
phia on Tuesday last. The vote has fallen
off about 10,000-sines, last spring. The
Whigs and Democrats generally ran fusion•
tickets against the Know Nothing. The
vote is close, although - it is probable that
-the latter have again carried the city by a
small majority. The North American
stateslbut "the contest was not strictly a
contest between political parties, and can
not therefore be received as affording any
measure of their relative strength." The
old city councils had given great offence by
reason of their extravagant legislation, and
the "reform" element influenced the vo
ting to a considerable degree.

$BOO in gold (1,50 pieces.) He had
moved on his farm the 2d instant, and on
the night of the 3d the house was entered
through the window, by persons of course
to us unknown. The manner of effecting
the theft was ingenious. The window
was raised, and small rolls of paper satur
ed with chloroform or opium thrown into
the room, by which the house was filled
with smoke, and a deep sleep came over
all the inmates. The money was betwen
the straw and feather beds on which father
and mother were sleeping. Linen clothes
wet with chloroform were placed on the
faces of the old lady and gentleman, and
thus they were kept unconcious while the
money was taken frum under them.
There were five persons in the house, and
all slept till an unusually late hour in the

State organ of the Democratic party, gives
vent to its feelings on the Kansas election
in the following terms
"From the acconolitrwhieh have reach
ed us of the late election for members
th6.territorial Assembly, we learn two
important lams : lst.• that the pin-slavery
party have succeeded in every district by
large majorities; 2d, that the Atchison
scheme of temporary colonisation from
Missouri, which we, at first, considered
.too monetrous for belief, was effectually
carried into operation, thus giving the con
trol of the election to non-residents, thou
sandsol whom have since returned to their
homes in Missouri. When we character
ize this as an iblamoun outrage. we use
'the mildest tering, we can think of to con
vey our meaning. We supported the Ne
brie:a-Kaneda bill on principle, and we
-still believe the principle to he correct ;
ibut, in the names of justice , and freedom
we iiolemitly protest against the conduct
.of the Missouri ruffians, and call upon the
proper authorities of Kansas to repudiate
the election as illegal and fraudulant. If
the actual reaittents of Kansas, with all
the blighting influences of slavery before
their eyes, desire to plant that institution
iin their fair territory, we shall soh
quit, be.•ause the voice of the Majori:y,
fairly ext.ressed, should and must govern
in this country ; but (foil forbid that either
the North or the South should stand by
